Configuring push services

You can use the push service to have emails containing the connection and usage data of the FRITZ!Box sent to you on a regular basis or when certain events occur. Then the FRITZ!Box notifies you, for example, when a new FRITZ!OS is available, when there are new messages on your answering machine, or if you missed a call. In addition, you can have a backup file with your settings sent to you automatically before every FRITZ!OS update.

Requirements / Restrictions

You must use an email account with a POP3 email server.

POP3 download must be enabled with your email provider.

Note:You can enable download in your email account settings. Your email provider can provide you with information on the procedure.

Note:The configuration procedure and notes on functions given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for your FRITZ!Box.
